OUR FUTURE INDUSTRIES.
The New Enterprises That are Likely
TO be Placed Here Shortly.

The following enterprises are spo.
ken of as being put in operation here
at at early day, and we hope our cit.
izens will encourage the projectors of
these industries:
The building of the Tennessee Cen
trail and Alabama railroad. Work
will begin early in the spring. The
company proposes to lay road from
Trenton, Tenn, through this place
and on to Florence, Ala.
The building of hundred barrel
roller Touring mill. Five or six
thousand dollars, We understand, have
already been subscribed, and it is ex>
pected that the desired amount will
be forthcoming in a short while. This
enterprise is very much needed, and
We hope to see the mill in operation
soon.
The erection Of an axe handle fac>
tory by Zimmerman Bros, of Angus
tus, Mich, is also spoken of. Mr..
Zimmerman says that if he can get
the needed encouragement he will
plant his factory here inside of sixty
or ninety days.
We learn that Messrs. Todd q Ro
per contemplate moving their stave
factory to our town, and will probably
do so as early as convenient.
The boring of the gas we'll is still
being agitated, and it is thought that
the needed amount, $1,000, can now
be raised without very much exertion.
Let the prime movers of this enter
prise go to work and sound our citi-
lens upon this question.
There is some little talk among a
few Of our citizens of having An arte.
sian well bored. This by all means
should be done. We have heard it
said that company in Memphis pro-
poses to bore four artesian wells for
$1,000. Let some of our citizens
place themselves in communication
with this company in regard to these
wells.
A Building and Loan Association
has been recently organized with sew
enteen charter members. The char
ter has been sent to Nashville to be
granted, and the association will be
ready for work by the first Of next
week. This alone will work wonders
for Milan, aud we are glad to see some
of our most prominent citizens take
hold of this enterprise and work fol
the common interest o. our town anC
community.
A creamery is also spoken of by
gentleman who wishes to know if HI
, can get enough cream in this vicinity
to make two hundred and fifty pound
8 of butter per day. Mr.. J. I. Tncke
will give all the desired information
!, concerning this enterprise.
There are other enterprises Of Jesse
note, we learn, that will be erected
here. 1t is to the interest of MiIal
as we'll rs her citizens to give thes
gentlemen all the encouragement
to get these industries in operation
It here, and if they are shown that the
!. are wanted and will be assisted by gu
# citizens, they, no doubt, will come an
i 20 to work as early as possible.

LIQUOR IN BRoTHKLs.

A county officer calls our attention to
the unpleasant fact that houses of proc
tuition ray a quarterly license of $500,
while saloon quite frequently not doing
as large business pays $4,000. The 18th
Legislature seems to be at work upon the
inaccuracies of our laws and In favor Of
justice and morality, the CHRONICLE 70.
commends that they give this matter the
attention it deserves and compel houses
ofprostitution to pay a greater license than
they now do. The brothel is dangerous
under any circumstances, but with q sup
ply of liquor on hand 1t it is doubly SO,
and many young man can date his
downfall from the drink of liquor first
taken in house of ill-fame from the
hand of bedizened siren. Put higher
license upon those who keep liquor for
sale at a house of prostitution and you will
have taken step toward morality. Fol
then, in many instances. brothels will
not continue to traffic in liquor and their
number certainly will be less.

NO Case Against Him.

WAsHINaroN, Jan. 30.-The pottering
and hslfhearted way in which the
government is going to work at the
prosecution of alleged timber depreda-
tors indicates that IL does not feel that
its cases are remarkably strong ones.
Michael ]. Haley, ex-property clerk Of
the police court at Cleveland, Ohio, and
q newspaperman Of more or less ability
has not been as remarkably successful
as he has been jealous in his work in
the timber regions Of Montana. His
first efforts to protect the timber upon
the public lands there resulted in the
establishment of new set Of regulations
far more favorable to the people taking
timber of the lands than former ones.
It is due to Mr.. Haley to say that he
had, in his opposition to these regula-
tions, the thorough support of Mr.. Sparks.
The next result of Mr.. Haley's work was
arrest at Boxeman, for an alleged over
stepping Of his authority. since then
his seal has not abated, and he has, in
or two cases, secured indictments Of al
legged timber thieves. His fight with
the Montana Improvement company
continues. and the depreciation cases are
daily sent from the commissioners
Office to the secretary and from the secre-
tary to the attorney general. As gen.
eral thing the evidence in the cases
submitted Is so slight that the attorney
general does not consider It safe to be-
gin prosecution. The cases that are now
being considered are last years crop,
and timber none have bean made as yet
under the new timber regulations. which
went into force in September last. Mr..
Sparks, when questioned, is no better
able to tell what he would do with this
timber, supposing he prevented people
from cutting it. than he Is able to explain
his probable disposition Of the public
lands, supposing that he had saved them
from the honest settler, as in one case
he is attacking people who have the
right, under the law, TO cut this timber
and in the other is continually cancelinf
the entries Of the actual settler every
where.

The Ainerals.

WARRINGTON, Jan, 29.-The United
States geological survey to-day Issued q
report on the mineral resources of the
United States for 1885, showing:
The total mineral product is valued
at $22s, ,521 ,356, an increase of SIS, 800, ,8OS
over 1884. Among the seventy mineral
substances referred to, coal is the most
important, the total value of all kinds
being $l59Ol9,596. An increase ia
shown in the production of coke natural
gas gold, silver, copper. zinc. quicksilver,
nickel, aluminium, lime, cement, phosp-
hate rock, magnesia and cobalt oxide;
while the production of coal, petroleum,
pig iron, lead, precious stones and min
eral waters decreased. 1t is probable
that the total output of 1885 will prove
much greater than 1885, and even great
er than the prosperous year of 1882.
